Why does everyone call Kristin Stewart a bad actress?

I thought she was good as Joan Jett in The Runaways.

Irrationality. They have some vaguely sensed resentment toward her for some reason, so they lie and trash her on matters that can't be proven and are totally arbitrary. This goes for most actors the sputtering mobs claim to be "bad."

She has the same affectations in every single movie as she does in every interview she gives.

Kind of like Katherine Hepburn.

She behaves immaturely and has an expressionless face. Her career is over.

She only plays angsty teenager type roles. She has no range and no charisma.

I didn't have an opinion on her one way or the other before, and thought she had to be at least decent to land the roles she had before Twilight.
But then I actually watched Twilight, and she was AWFUL. Watch her acting at around 2:45 in the clip - one of the most awkward performances I've ever seen.

They didn't even try to make the "Twilight" movies good, because they knew the idiot Twitards would make it profitable no matter what they put on the screen.
Making a movie like that can be incredibly bad for a young actor's career, and skill level. If they're showered with wealth and fame for doing their worst work, how to convince them to drop all the bad, lazy, annoying habits they learned on this franchise?

I don't understand what the problem with her is.

Winona%20R.

I agree with you, OP.

She got very very lucky with Twilight. Otherwise, there is nothing to recommend her. She's not a beauty, has no charisma, and is woefully untalented.
But her career is essentially over.

I thought Kristin gave her greatest performance in Breaking Dawn Part 2.

She is wooden and just does different versions of the same personality. She comes across as dead inside in all her roles. A one trick pony, but the trick is of negligible interest.

R3, that video is hilarious. The Kristin Stewart School of Sigh-acting.
She doesn't seem to have anything coming out. There are a few things in pre-production and the horrendously bad "Snow White" is getting a sequel.
"Snow White" is the only thing of hers that I've seen. Has she ever given a good performance?

She's terrible! Her acting consists of having her mouth hang open.

That Snow White film was fucking unwatchable and Kristen Stewart was the worst part.

That video in R3 sums it up perfectly.

They tried to make her an IT girl but it never took on. She's inherently unlikable and untalented. Now that her franchise is over and all the money has been made Hollywood will have no use for her.
Jennifer Lawrence took her career.

She's like Pinocchio she's so wooden. It's amateur hour all the way.

The wooden thing wouldn't bother me if it wasn't repeated in every role she plays. There is a big difference between making a role one's own and hammering in a square peg.

Because of me.

You'd be surprised at how much we think an actress is bad subconsciously of how she looks.
Most actors, unless they are character actors, have the same neutral expression for a lot of their roles. (Clooney, Jolie, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence) But when an actress ( Kristen Stewart) has an unappealing one, it becomes unbearable. If she was drop dead gorgeous and had amazing teeth, we wouldn't notice these things.

Kristin is not unattractive. In fact, she's pretty.

Yes we would. Just look at Megan Fox. Horrible actress.

^ Damn... Just beat my argument
@24 I think she is pretty as well. Very pretty, but I have to play to the masses or get annihilated.
